Getting started
Questions & answers
Is PDF Tools Club really free?
Yes. All tools are free, with no account or subscription. There is no daily task limit. A 50 MB total input limit helps keep processing manageable on your device.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. PDF Tools Club adapts to mobile, tablet and desktop screens. Large or complex PDFs can exceed a phone’s available memory; try a smaller document or a desktop browser.
Files & privacy
Questions & answers
Where do my files go?
Your files stay in your browser. PDF processing runs on your device, and file contents are not uploaded to a server. Closing the page clears the current workspace.
Does it support password-protected files?
This version does not open encrypted PDFs. Export an unprotected copy from a trusted PDF application before using these tools.

Output & troubleshooting
Questions & answers
Will compression change my document?
Image compression converts pages into JPG images inside a new PDF. Choose Preserve text and vectors when selectable text, links and vector content must remain; already compact PDFs may not shrink.
What do the page numbers in the preview mean?
They are positions in the PDF, starting at 1. They may differ from the numbers printed on the document.
Why did processing fail?
Check that the file is a valid, unencrypted PDF within the limits shown by the tool. Try a smaller document or a desktop browser. Keep the original and check every output before using it.
